As for knowing he stands no chance- I think he honestly believes he's going to knock Floyd out in 4 rounds like he says. It will be interesting to see how the humiliation affects him as a fighter going forward because, make no mistake, he's about to get humiliated in that ring.

He won't care and will bounce back from it like he has done in past defeats.

Probably true. Though the loss to Nate was really his only high profile loss, and he hardly got humiliated in that fight. He spent the first seven minutes of that fight straight starching Nate.

This is going to be a whole different deal. It's going to be very obvious that he's completely out of his depth the moment the opening bell sounds. You're still probably right, though- Conor's confident to the point of mental illness. He likely won't miss a beat.

It's absolutely a case of Conor chasing a huge payday. It's what he's been doing for the last several years in the UFC as well. He makes no secret of it.

Honestly, there's no shame in him losing a fight that is so heavily weighted against him. He'll probably just say something about how Mayweather is a great boxer and challenge him to a rematch in the Octagon if he wants to see who is a better "fighter" and cry into his money.

Realistically, if he manages to look even half decent for one or two rounds against Floyd, it's a pretty major accomplishment for someone who's not a professional boxer.

So what's up with what I'm hearing that way more people are betting for McGregor to win? Anyone have an updated sports books on odds? I see some places citing McGregor has having the better odds.

I'm thinking about betting for Mayweather, I don't like him but I don't see how he's going to lose.

McGregor is longer odds everywhere. He's terrible value though imo, free money on Mayweather.

Apparently so many people were betting on McGregor after the press tour that they had to dramatically alter the odds because if McGregor somehow pulls out the miracle Vegas would go broke.

people are convinced that McGregor has a chance. this is going to be so huge.

There's currently €26 million in matched bets on the Betfair exchange and we're three days out. Most bets will probably come the day of. Fucking insane the amount of money being wagered.

If McGregor just says fuck it and kicks Floyd in the face, does he stil get paid? Cuz that's the only way he's knocking him out.

I wonder if this is why that one bookie paid out early. They saw the odds starting to swing and wanted to get out with a lower payday on what they figure is a sure thing.
